[ANN] GAS Coin is now dead. r3wt snuck in a premine and scammed the community

[Joe_Bauers]

You didn't set expectations that the source was going to be immediately released so - I think that means you don't suck

Yea, but it was stupid on my part to release Windows and not Linux. I'll do a giveaway in a few days and use what I mined tonight to give back to you guys for being too trigger happy. I'll giveaway everything I mined today, too, for bounties. iGotSpots only let me use the computer at my office to mine and not the whole farm, (douchebag) but I'll give back everything that we got from these three 7950's.

Again, sorry

[Gradius]

I can't see it being hugely needed, but if you like you can add this node:

addnode=24.175.239.206

[ohiwastedmylif]

How long until the dynamic blocks?

Everytime difficulty adjusts enough from where it was, it will change the reward

Uhh, nope:

wtf your hash rate is low and you found like 10x the amount of blocks that I did?

Something seems very wrong with that.

Been mining since minute 1 with 650Kh/s and only found 2 REAL blocks all the rest stales.

only have 0.128 GAS

[ivanlabrie]

I got a few blocks...but not as many as that guy :p
Single 7970 here though.

I am using 1 7950 @ 650Kh/s

he has what 900 Kh/s so it shouldn't be that far off.

Low latency will generally yield more rejects and orphans

That is bull, not 100x less.

You want to know what the problem is? the average 7950, takes longer than 4 seconds, to submit a share. *Mind blown*

Selling some GAS coins PM me with an offer!

I can't figure this out.  I've never tried solo mining before, but here's what I did, and it doesn't seem to work:

1) Create gas.conf, with the following text:

rpcuser=GASrpc
rpcpassword=asdjfaiduvasljdfADFASJDF
addnode=95.87.223.10
rpcallowip=127.0.0.1
rpcport=8004
daemon=1
server=1
gen=0

2) Start the solo.bat file in the gas-qt folder.  Wait for wallet to sync.

2) from a command window run:

minerd.exe -o 127.0.0.1:8004 -u GASrpc -p asdjfaiduvasljdfADFASJDF

3) wait patiently while the following text appears on the screen:

Any ideas about what I could have done wrong??

Thanks for your help!

UPDATE: Nevermind!  I copied the lines from the gascoin.conf into gas.conf, and changed the port for minerd.exe, and it is mining away now!  Haven't found any blocks, though.

trty adding this to your conf file.

Code:

queue=0
scantime=1
expiry=4

Thanks a lot!  Saw your answer after I figured out a similar solution on my own, but I think that's what did it!

[glongsword]

Follow up: I've gotten 3 orphans and only 1 accepted block so far.  I don't see the message "detected new block" ever.  Is there a way to make the miner check for new blocks more frequently?

I think the problem is you're cpu mining...I get few blocks and I'm using a 7970.

SOURCE IS UP AT https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B5V5vln-sS3EWTdrNVh2aTdGdFE/edit?usp=sharing

Sorry for being so slow, busy day at the store tonight

[Entz]

Is that the correct set of source files? Doesnt compile directly on linux (typical of windows releases). This one is coded with a 100,000 coin premine, has super blocks and block values inconsistent with what is actually happening (i.e. at 5000 blocks reward should be 6 not 0.064) . Also 3 projects listed there foocoin, securecoin and gascoin and a precompiled geocoind    

So yeah, definitely not worth the time (not that 4s blocks ever were)

Several things here:

1. i premined 100000 coins not the "devs" fault. thats .05% to organize a mining party to ensure the network was live upon release.
2. there is only one super block, block 51001 which pays out 7001 coins.
3. i have my kids this weekend and got in a hurry when i was uploading the source. there is a festival going on in town and i was in a rush, hence why there was so many sources in the zip.
4. the people have spoken, and i've been up the last few hours crunching numbers and organizing a plan for improving the coin. will release an update to the client tomorrow with

• fixed block rewards(as per clients request). new rewards will be a range between .064 and 16 coins
• 20 second blocks with modified dPriority, which will allow the block time to fluctuate
• updated checkpoints

additionally i hope to get fedora installed tomorrow on my desktop and i will begin working on a linux version of the client.

[Cryptobits]

Do you have an eta on when the source will be up?

Shouldn't be too long, r3wt was uploading it last I talked to him, but he was going to some festival or something. As soon as he links it to me, it'll be posted on here. Sorry, I know. I suck  

Looked a t dev name, that's enough to ensure most people will avoid . Source is essential to release. Fail

in 10 years we will have no gas but we will have gascoin
